The following claims were verified through Perplexity Sonar before the questions were finalised. The host can reference any of them during play:

• Addition is defined as 'putting together' two groups of objects or 'adding to' a group to make it larger.
• By the end of Grade 2, students must know all sums of two one-digit numbers from memory without calculations.
• Grade 2 students flunently add and subtract numbers within 20 using mental strategies like counting on or knowing doubles.
• Students in Grade 2 use addition to solve word problems where quantities are added to, taken from, or put together, with totals up to 100.
• An even number is defined as a number that can be split into two equal groups, or written as a sum of two equal addends like 6 = 3 + 3.
• An odd number is defined as a group of objects where one object is left out after pairing them up into groups of two.
• In a rectangular array with equal rows and columns, the total number of objects is found by adding equal addends, such as 3 rows of 4 is 4 + 4 + 4.
• The sum of 5 and 5 is a 'double' fact, which equals 10, and is a key mental strategy for Grade 2 addition.
• A 'making tens' strategy involves breaking a number to create a group of 10, such as seeing 8 + 5 as 8 + 2 + 3 to make 10 + 3.
• Grade 2 students learn that adding zero to any number results in the same number, which is called the identity property of addition.
